Abstract
Rose is severely affected by phytoplasma diseases, causing significant loss in flower quality. A valid control strategy is not yet available for managing phytoplasma diseases in roses. The present study aimed to obtain phytoplasma-free rose plants using antibiotics. In this study, phytoplasma-associated rose cultivar ‘Dr. M. S. Randhawa’ exhibiting phyllody and flower malformation symptoms was used to study the effect of three antibiotics namely, oxytetracycline, streptomycin and erythromycin A

Taxonomic revision of the family Aurantimonadaceae: proposal of Dennerimonas gen. nov., Mesocryomonas gen. nov., Rathsackimonas gen. nov. and Plantimonas gen. nov., along with the reclassification of Jeongeupella Jiang et al. 2024 as a later heterotypic synonym of Antarcticirhabdus Du et al. 2023

Abstract
Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Aureimonas, utilizing both 16S rRNA gene sequences and comprehensive whole-genome data, revealed its polyphyletic nature, necessitating a revision to accommodate phylogenetically distinct species. Based on established threshold values for genus demarcation – specifically, 16S rRNA gene similarity, Average Amino Acid Identity and Percentage of Conserved Proteins – a notably substantial divergence was observed within the genus Aureimonas, and the division of Aure

Discovery of a phylogenetically novel tropical marine Gammaproteobacteria elucidated from assembled genomes and the proposed transfer of the genus Umboniibacter from the family Cellvibrionaceae to Umboniibacteraceae fam. nov

Abstract
Marine heterotrophic bacteria in coastal waters respond to the influx of carbon from natural and anthropogenic sources. We identified two nearly identical, (99.9% average nucleotide identity; 100% amino acid identity; same DNA G + C content of 52.3 mol%) high-quality (≥99% CheckM completeness and ≤ 1.3% contamination) draft metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs; SJ0813 and SJ0972) from seawater microbiomes of a southern island of Singapore that is in a protected marine park. The MAGs were only assi

Abstract
Surveys for exotic plant pests conducted during July and August of 2023 and 2024 across 20 vineyards in 12 counties throughout Minnesota, USA, revealed that less than 2% of the approximatively 3000 vines inspected (Vitis spp., hybrid grape varieties) exhibited symptoms suggestive of phytoplasma yellows disease. Observed symptoms included yellowing of leaf lamina, downward rolling of leaf margins, and necrosis of leaf margins. To investigate a potential association between these symptoms and phy

Abstract
Marine sediments are vast, underexplored habitats and represent one of the largest carbon deposits on our planet. Microbial communities drive nutrient cycling in these sediments, but the full extent of their taxonomic and metabolic diversity remains to be explored. Here, we analysed shallow coastal and deep subseafloor sediment cores from 0.01 to nearly 600 metres below the seafloor, in the Western Pacific Region. Applying metagenomics, we identified several taxonomic clusters across all samples

Optimizing qPCR Detection of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’: Introducing a New Type of Internal Standard

Abstract
‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), the agent associated with the Huanglongbing (HLB) citrus disease, is commonly detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with hydrolysis probes. Internal standards are typically included in the qPCR assays to reduce the risk of false negatives caused by inhibitors. When the internal standard is detected but CLas is not, it is generally assumed that the pathogen is absent from the tested sample. However, our study shows that trace amo
